I received a lot of notes from Chengxi Huang about how to finesse their respective martial arts styles (taichi and bajiquan). This scene's success is thanks to him, seriously he's great
I listened to Wong Fei Hung on repeat a lot when drawing the LO. That song is fucking awesooome.
There's also this video about bajiquan which I thought was really entertaining to watch lmfao, the teachers are so cool..
Taichi is difficult to design choreography around for me because it's really non aggressive, I should have drawn it better, sorry.
Same with bajiquan, There's so much explosive power in that form, when I was trying to draw the choreography I kept arriving at moments where Wang would just get hit and just lose. Seriously this style looks intimidating as hell. I dont think I did it justice the way I drew it.
The hits are so fast and deadly, I was really struggling to have Wang's smooth and fluid taichi motions read fast enough and still have time to deflect Guan's attacks. But I don't mean to complain too much
